    What would your favourite team be if you could choose from any players that have ever played for the Toon?

    We're talking about favourite players, not just the best team right?

    I'd go with a 4-1-3-2

    --------Shola------Shearer----

    -Beardsley------Ba---------Ben Arfa

    --------------Tiote-----------------

    Enrique----Colo-----Saylor---Perch :D

    ------------Krul---------------

    Sorry but these players are the players I've loved most since I've been alive.

    I can't relate to some of the older ones.

    Still no joy with the old rep though.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Albert's Chip Shop again.

    I know.

    I've seen a lot of footage and he probably would have been my favourite ever player if I was old enough to see him play live.

    He's probably the closest any player has gotten to Messi. He moved just like him, and from TV camera angles, I thought I was actually watching Messi on a grainy camera. They are so similar.

    Beardsley and Gazza were great players with great skills, if only Gazza had been as level headed as Beardo was he'd have been so much better though.

    A good analogy. Not many players have a move named after them... In this case the Beardsley shimmy..

    -------------Given
    Hughes--Dabizas-Taylor--Beresford
    Solano----Cabaye-Lee---Beardsley
    ---------Shearer-Ferdinand

    Subs: Krul, Coloccini, Watson, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Robert, Ameobi

    Beardsley on the left wing is a little odd, but it could work

    Good team but I think I'd prefer Beye at RB in place of Hughes.

    Beye has left a bit of a bitter taste on my mouth from his exit. He left to "save his career" but he ended up in the Villa reserves and now warms the Donny bench

    True. But I have always liked Hughes. Model pro, from the academy. Pretty much a Fulham legend now

    A lot of people liked Hughes, it wasn't unknown for him to have a drink with them and they didn't have to put their hands in their pockets.
